EvilM0nkey Posted November 5, 2012 Share Posted November 5, 2012 Can you take a picture of the burned spot and post it for us? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tim Fischer Posted November 5, 2012 Share Posted November 5, 2012 Yes please post a picture of the burn spot. Also who is the "installer" - and how versed are they on LOR products? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
audirick75 Posted November 5, 2012 Author Share Posted November 5, 2012 the burn spot is between 2 of the legs on the board under the triack where it goes into the board if you look at the board frome side angle across the board the burn spot looks to go all the way threw .installer wise it is a local electronics repaire shop and parts allied electronics.

Tim Fischer Posted November 6, 2012 Share Posted November 6, 2012 I would expect an electronics repair firm to be able to fix that, if it's as minor as you suggest (perhaps using jumper wires or some such) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gman7711 Posted November 8, 2012 Share Posted November 8, 2012 And what was the fix? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rwertz Posted November 8, 2012 Share Posted November 8, 2012 Based on audirick75’s comment, I’m guessing the board was replaced. From previous experience, I know LOR is not thrilled about repairing burnt PC boards. There are concerns that the damage could possibly cause a failure in the future.

Gman7711 Posted November 8, 2012 Share Posted November 8, 2012 Any guess as to the cause of something like this? Overload? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rwertz Posted November 9, 2012 Share Posted November 9, 2012 Overload (drawing too much current from one channel) would probably just take out the TRIAC. A burned spot on the board seems to be common with bugs getting places they shouldn’t. The repair shop mentioned a short on the board. If that was there from new, it could have caused it.
